For other cleaning materials, detergents is the yield of technological advances that make use of the chemical byproduct of petroleum distillation, combined with other chemicals such as phosphate, silicate, dye, and fragrance ingredients. around in the 1960s, the early generations detergent appeared using surface pengaktif chemicals (surfactants) Alkyl Benzene Sulfonat (ABS) is capable of producing foam. However, due to the difficult nature of ABS broken down by microorganisms in the soil surface, eventually replaced by Linear Alkyl compounds Sulfonat (LAS) are believed to be relatively more familiar with the environment.
In many countries in the world have banned the use of ABS and replaced with the LAS. While in Indonesia, the regulations concerning the prohibition of using ABS does not exist. Several reasons ABS is used in detergent products, such as low cost, stability in the form of cream / pasta and abundant foam.
The using of soap as a cleanser diluted with water in mountainous areas or swamp the former residential areas often do not produce foam. This was due to the nature of soap that will not produce foam if dissolved in hard water (water containing certain metals or lime). However, the use of detergent with hard water will continue to produce abundant foam.
Soap or detergent dissolved in water in the washing process, will form the emulsion with dirt that will be wasted when flushing. But there are false opinions that the more abundant lather of soapy water will make a more clean laundry. Foam with a large surface area can absorb the dirt is dirt, but with a surfactant, the cleaning can be performed without the need for foam.
Deliberately formed opinion that the foam showed abundant labor resources detergent is misleading. Thus, the washing process does not depend on the presence or absence of foam or sponge slightly and the number produced. The ability of this detergent cleaning power can be enhanced if the laundry is heated because the power of enzymes and bleach work will be effective. However, washing with hot water will cause the color faded clothes. So for colored clothes, you should not use hot water / hot.
Using of detergents are also often cause new problems, especially for users who have a sensitive nature. User detergent may experience skin irritation, itching skin, or skin becomes even more heat after using detergent.
